Chapter 944: Prelude (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket! Please Subscribe!! Please Give Me a Recommendation Ticket!!!)
"So you want me to watch from the dark? As long as the criminal is not kidnapped, don't do anything?" Kai looked at several high-ranking officials of the Los Angeles Police Department with a look of astonishment. Read "Are you using the safety of the police officers for show?"
The idea of these high-ranking officials is very simple. They are afraid that things will be messed up, so they hope that Kai can hold the fort and stand up to clean up the mess when things really get out of control. If the Los Angeles Police Department can complete the transfer task safely, then Kai will not have to show up. Let everything look like the credit of their police.
Kai can understand the idea of this group of people. It is nothing more than proving to the public that the Los Angeles Police Department can perfectly protect the safety of the people and can also effectively fight crime. So that they can get more political capital.
But even if he understands it, Kai still can't accept it! What do these people think those desperadoes outside are? Street thugs whose crotches are about to fall to the ground? Or drug addicts who run to rob for a few dollars to buy drugs?
The madness of those guys is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination!
One hundred million US dollars!
It is definitely not a string of zeros. It represents too many things. Countless people will risk their lives to pursue it!
"No! We are rebuilding the confidence of Los Angeles people in the Los Angeles police! At the same time, we are rebuilding the confidence of our Los Angeles police! We can rely on you to easily handle this matter this time! But what about later? The existence of the Flash has already made us criticized! Those high-ranking men have been blaming us for not being able to catch the Flash! Ordinary people laugh at us, saying that we can't do anything except help the Flash! Facing criminals, we can only tremble and wait for help! What's more terrifying is that many of our police have begun to think so! They are no longer brave, but only passively waiting for help! This is not right!"
A middle-aged man with a serious face stood up and refuted Kai directly. His name is Chris Vaughn, a former US Special Forces officer. He served in the Special Forces for eight years and later became a policeman after retiring. He is a very strong leader.
But he himself is quite prestigious.
"So, this is not just a show, but also a test."
Even Kai had to admit that what he said made sense. Superheroes cannot replace the police, and the order of this society must be maintained by the police. After all, no matter how capable a superhero is, he cannot manage an entire city.
"But you have to understand that $100 million is enough for many people to do terrible things. This time, the Los Angeles police are no longer facing those insignificant gangsters, but a large group of well-equipped war hounds and desperadoes!"
With $100 million, those mercenaries who really dare to fight will never miss it. Those war hounds are not sought after by gangs, they are hyenas pursuing war and chaos, relying on death and blood for food.
Mercenaries, a group that is ignored by the outside world but is actually active in any war-torn area. And the United States is the largest personnel supply base for this group. In the United States before the Vietnam War, soldiers were a very glorious profession. They had good salaries, good social status, and good welfare policies. After World War II, the US government gave full preferential treatment to all retired soldiers. At that time, retired soldiers who wanted to go to college not only had scholarships, low-interest loans, but also various preferential policies, and even employment had many preferential policies. After all, the US economic situation was very, very good at that time, and the federal government was willing to spend money.
But after the Vietnam War, soldiers suddenly became the culprits of the war. Because of anti-war and poor military discipline of the US military, this group was blamed and despised by the whole society. Then the social status of soldiers declined greatly. In addition, due to the overall recession of the US economy, the federal government's welfare policy for retired soldiers was greatly reduced, which made many soldiers who had fought for the country return home penniless.
Drug addiction is also a major reason. American soldiers learned two things in the Vietnam War, massacre and drug use. Putting the massacre aside, drug use has the greatest impact. According to the US Department of Defense, in 1968, half of the US troops sent to Vietnam took certain drugs, which rose to 60% in 1970. In 1973, the year when the US military withdrew, 70% of the soldiers took psychotropic drugs; in terms of drugs, in 1971, 51% of the US military had smoked marijuana, 28% had smoked hard drugs (mostly heroin), and nearly 31% had used hallucinogens. This has caused huge controversy in the US military, government and even society.
This also completely ruined the reputation of the US military. The most obvious example is that since then, fewer and fewer people have joined the army.
And these veterans abandoned by society naturally have to find their own way out. Some of them became war hounds - mercenaries.
After that, it is estimated that it has become a tradition that many retired US military soldiers who have no way to make a living will take this path. At least it is more profitable than being a soldier.
Then the mercenary industry began to flourish. You can see them in any chaotic area. They may serve the US government, some governments, warlords in various places, and even many of them will serve those dictators and tyrants.
In short, in one sentence, if you have money, you dare to do anything.
And the reward of 100 million US dollars... is definitely the largest order in history. Kai believes that any mercenary who receives the news will not mind doing a job. Anyway, with money, where in the world can't they go? They can even go to Africa and find a small country to be a local emperor.
After these people have been trained in the bloody and cruel battlefield, do you think a group of big city police with pistols can scare them?
"My police officers can handle all situations! Please rest assured!" Unfortunately, the chief seemed very confident in his arrangements.
Kai was silent for a while, then nodded.
"Okay, I understand your idea." This iron-headed kid did this, and Kai had no choice.
Can he force him to agree with his approach?
That's not Kai's style.
"But there is one thing I must say at the beginning, that is, all the consequences that arise later, you will bear the responsibility yourself. After all, if I don't take action, I can't guarantee the casualties of the police."
Hearing Kai's division of responsibilities, some people immediately wavered.
After all... if there are really a lot of casualties, they will not be well.
But the chief remained unmoved: "Of course! We know what we are doing."
...
In the next few days, Kai followed the request of the Los Angeles Police Department and participated in their combat meetings to plan routes. But Kai didn't speak most of the time. After all, strictly speaking, he was an outsider, and there was no need to get involved in those things, so as not to cause trouble for no reason.
The Los Angeles police were obviously relieved by Kai's knowledge and interest. After all, if they really did it, it would mean an unprecedented great achievement. But no one would disdain the great achievement and want to share it. Kai did not intervene in these matters, obviously not intending to share the credit.
Finally, five days later, the police station had completed the scheduled interrogation and was ready to transfer the prisoner.
It was almost noon, and Kai took Chloe to find a way to eat. There were some fast food restaurants around the headquarters. American police are very fond of fast food and donuts. First, it is cheap, second, it is high in calories, and third, it is convenient and fast, and you can eat it directly. So this causes many patrolmen to be obese.
There is no way, eating junk food for a long time will be like this. Chloe is a beautiful girl who hates to gain weight, so she decided to walk a little further and go to a nice restaurant to have lunch. Wu Ting, anyway, Kai is there, it is not her turn to pay, so she naturally eats better.
Just when Kai and Chloe parked the car and were about to walk into the restaurant, a helicopter flew over their heads.
It was a helicopter with the "LAPD" logo printed on it, which belonged to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The prisoner will be escorted this afternoon.
The Los Angeles Police Department has dozens of helicopters. The most professional police department in the United States for air-ground coordination and catching criminals, LAPD is definitely among the top three.
Soon, the helicopter slowly descended to the first floor of the headquarters building. Kai didn't care. After all, this was arranged in advance by the Los Angeles Police Department. The Los Angeles Police Department plans to transfer the prisoner in two ways at the same time, one is by air, using a helicopter. The other is by land. In order to keep it secret, the decision on how to transfer the prisoner will be made at the last moment. After all, no one knows whether someone will be confused by 100 million US dollars. For a police officer who only earns 60,000 US dollars a year, 100 million is also an astronomical figure.
Then they will transfer in two ways at the same time, using the strategy of confusing the enemy. Confuse those guys who are blinded by money.
Just as the helicopter approached the top of the building, the fuselage suddenly tilted and shook.
Chloe put her hand on her forehead, squinted her eyes and looked at the helicopter in the distance, and said a little puzzled: "The skills of the helicopter pilots in the bureau are not so outrageous, right?
The next moment, a faint black smoke floated from the helicopter, the whole fuselage began to spin, and then fell down.
Chloe couldn't see it very well, after all, the distance was very far, and she could only see a general idea.
But Kai clearly saw a bullet hit the helicopter!
Something happened!
Kai immediately pulled Chloe to the headquarters.
"Oh my God!" Chloe saw the helicopter fall down with her own eyes!
The alarm sounded, and the two rushed straight to the police station building.
The radio station of the police station also exploded.
"The helicopter at the headquarters was attacked by unknown persons and has fallen. Please ask nearby police officers to go there immediately to maintain order."
"All police officers near the headquarters should be vigilant and pay attention to possible attacks by gangsters."
"Immediately evacuate vehicles on nearby streets to avoid congestion. "
It must be said that the Los Angeles Police Department responded very correctly, taking all situations into consideration at the first time.
When Kai and Chloe arrived, there were already many police officers on the scene, and a large number of police officers came out of the building to maintain order. A helicopter fell to the ground, and seven or eight police officers were busy there. They were trying to rescue the driver.
Kai got out of the car and immediately rushed to the helicopter. The people inside were not dead yet.
However, the rescue was not smooth. The police officers did not have professional tools, and the places where they could exert force were so small, and the rescue operation was not successful.
When Kai walked over, he smelled the smell of gasoline a few meters away.
Although the situation in movies where vehicles leak oil and explode when leaking oil is not common in reality, fire is still possible. However, considering that the helicopter uses aviation fuel, you still have to be careful, as aviation fuel has the risk of exploding when it encounters high temperature.
When Kai walked to the side of the helicopter, three or four police officers were trying to open the deformed door. The door kept making noises and could not be fully opened, so the seriously injured driver inside could not be rescued. The driver was lucky that the helicopter did not fall headfirst, but fell in a spiral.
He was only seriously injured and was not dead yet. Of course, if it was delayed any longer, it might not be.
"Get out of the way!"
Kai directly pushed the police officers away. Then he exerted a sudden force, and the deformed door was opened. The previous impact caused the door to deform and get stuck.
The police officers on the side were all stunned.
It was a bit too easy.
Kai yelled: "What are you looking at? Help me."
Is this the time to be in a daze?
Several police officers woke up from their dreams. One of them took out a knife from his body and quickly cut off the ties on the driver, while constantly asking the driver.
This kind of scene often appears in movies, and it is not nonsense.
First, the answer of the injured person can prove that his airway is not blocked by foreign objects. Secondly, the question and answer between the two sides can determine whether he is conscious, and confusion may mean heavy bleeding. Finally, the rescuer can also try to judge the injury of the injured person to avoid secondary injury caused by movement.
Obviously, this police officer has rescue experience, and ordinary police officers can't do it so meticulously.
Then several police officers were a little flustered and lifted the driver out. The helicopter was deformed, and the opening was so big that it was difficult for several policemen to do anything. In the end, it was Kai who took action. He pushed aside several policemen again and asked one of them to firmly fix the pilot's head and neck to prevent secondary injuries. At the same time, he slowly exerted force, gently and gently lifted the pilot out of the helicopter, walked to the roadside with a steady pace, and put him on the ground.
Immediately, a policeman took off his clothes and put them on the back of his head.
Looking at the injured pilot, Kai sighed. This kid is lucky. His spine was injured, and his cervical spine might also have problems. His ribs were broken. Internal bleeding was not certain, but he would not die. Kai secretly treated him and guaranteed that he would not die and could walk on the ground, but he probably would not be able to fly a plane in the future. Kai could only do this level.
After that, Kai handed the pilot to several policemen to take care of him, and he took Chloe to help evacuate the crowd. They were all stuck here, and the ambulance could not come.
There were really too many people in the core area of the big city. Many people actually heard the noise several minutes later, and then some lunatics inexplicably said that there was an air-to-air attack and that an X-bomb was found, and they immediately fled in panic. Many people ran around, and they rushed to the police station in a daze, causing more traffic jams here!
There were also those calm and fearless people who began to watch everywhere, and a few were taking pictures with their mobile phones. There were also two news interview cars outside, and the professional little masters of death in the movie - female reporters and photographers immediately started working.
These people are just afraid of chaos in the world. Even Kai heard that the female reporter was speculating whether the wreckage of the helicopter would explode... What are these people thinking? Is the explosion of the wreckage of the helicopter a good thing? Well... Don't say it, it is indeed a good thing for them, they just hope to take exciting pictures.
But how can things be so dramatic? This is the police station, and police officers have already sprayed the helicopter with foam fire extinguishers.
Are you underestimating the quality of the police?
Soon, a large number of police officers arrived, and Kai and Chloe finally retreated. To maintain order, patrol officers should be the ones to do it, because they are the professionals.
